I've done this a few times in the past, here's the linkie from last year. If anyone can take a half-day off, it'd be worth their while to make a kid's day! Not to mention full police escort from San Marcos to downtown, secured parking, a personal tour of the capitol by a gov't official, then a nice relaxing lunch w/ everyone. There are t-shirts/pins given to participants (kids, driver's, family-members) & any charitable donation goes a long ways (though by no means required). . .

The Sunshine Kids Cruise to the Texas State Capitol
[SIZE=+2][/SIZE] SHOWCARS 4 KIDS would like to invite you, your family and friends to join us in taking 30 kids with cancer on a wild car cruise from San Marcos to the state capitol in downtown Austin. We are looking for the hottest and fastest cars in Central Texas to join us. However, all vehicles must be in a show quality finished condition. Please no work in progress, no visible damage internal or external, and no hotroding or unsafe acts while in cruise or at any of the locations.
On June 9, 2010 we will meet in South Austin at 7:45 am in the Blockbuster Movies Parking lot off IH-35 and William Cannon. From there at 8:15 am (SHARP) we will head out to the Activity Center in San Marcos. There, we will pick up the kids and have a police escort up IH-35 to Slaughter Lane. From there we hit Congress and head straight through downtown and to the capitol. The escort will block all roads and intersections for us. We will have our own parking with security to watch the vehicles and have a tour of the capitol with the kids. After the tour we will meet the Speaker of the House and maybe the Governor himself! Lunch will be provided for after the cruise. We should be done around 2 pm.
There is NO COST OR REQUIREMENT to attend other than all vehicles being in a clean show like shape. However, we are looking for a couple of good businesses to donate $300.00 each to purchase T-shirts for the kids and all drivers. If you know of a company that would like to help out please let us know. We will have full color graphics, business name and logo on the back of 100 T-shirts. We also encourage you to bring any advertisements to pass out to the drivers. Your spouse and or children are encouraged to come along. We do ask that during the cruise from San Marcos to the Capitol you give The Sunshine Kids shotgun. If you or any one you know would like to attend please contact us by May 31 with 100% knowledge that you will attend. Please let us know what vehicle you will be driving. You can email us at [email protected] We hope to see you there!!
